Let’s Make Your Goals And Dreams A Reality!

The number one reason people give up on their goals and dreams is because they see too many obstacles on their path. What if I told you to replace the word obstacles, with challenges? Would there be a difference in the way you approached each day, as you take those necessary steps to making those goals and dreams a reality? Yes!

Make today that day and don’t look back. But my question to you is, what is a specific goal or dream for you? Share your own personal small achievement today, and also share your desires so other can feed off of your inspiration!

I was out of tennis competition for years due to my chronic anxiety,constant dizziness, heart palps, you name it I feared it Lee. I came to the understanding that fear hates anger, so when I became angry and began talking to my anxiety and letting it know that it’s power over me was short lived, I began growing the confidence I needed to get my professional tennis career back on track. Replace fear with anger, and have a chat with your anxiety so the truth comes out…

Thanks for the reply-it means a lot! It’s so interesting to me that this happened after racing for years-much like your situation it seems. For me it seems to be a loss in confidence. I *know* an Ironman hurts at some point and I’ve always had confidence in my training and body and could push through. Now it seems a switch was flipped and every little twinge is a signal that I can’t do it. Did you experience this as well?

Definitely health anxiety. I had a weird electrolyte imbalance completely unrelated to racing that scared me badly. After that, I over interpret every body signal (~7 months now). Have medical ok to train and race but fully realize it is a mental game changer for me:(. It’s hard to describe the anxiety to someone who’s not an athlete but the suffering is real. Constantly fight the feeling of giving up sport.

You know what the biggest contributor to my success over anxiety was, and getting my confidence to play and compete again? It was working on changing my perspective of what I feared, let me explain. A hard heartbeat scared me enough to stay away from even a Brisk walk, imagine… This after training 4 hours per day pre anxiety disorder. I trained myself to look at the opposite of what I feared, a hard heart beat would be better then a soft heart beat. Think about it, wouldn’t you be more worried of you heart beat softly, rather then hard? By training myself to change my view of the symptoms I feared, I got to the point of no more thinking ‘what if.’ I can’t tell you how crucial this is… Confidence is everything.

Thanks so much! I’m trying this during tomorrow’s workout. Ironman Texas is on my schedule and I daily question doing it although I’m training. I will keep you posted and am going to start this program. Thank you again and all my best to you-
